Twenty-four new tourism projects are to be launched in the middle of next year in Asir Region of Saudi Arabia.

Prince Faisal bin Khaled bin Abdul Aziz, emir of Asir, urged businessmen and investors to invest in tourism projects because such an investment has a huge business potential in the region.

Prince Sultan bin Salman bin Abdul Aziz, secretary general of the General Commission for Tourism and Antiquities (GCTA), was also present at the meeting.

GCTA will carry out the projects in collaboration with ministries of municipal and rural affairs and agriculture and will give a boost to the Kingdom's tourism industry.

Also included will be the construction of Prince Sultan Park and four other parks in Gara and Al Yazed, which will serve as cultural and tourist edifices in the region.

These projects will focus on the heritage buildings, travel and
